Subject: The trinomial introduction

Baker was the first person to introduce trinomials into Indian ornithology. His work introduced the concept of local population variations and his subspecies continue to be important and many are still unverified and most of the population distribution boundaries have never been carefully studied. Indian observers will benefit in examining this literature.
